First and foremost, let me state that our blog is not a vegetarian food blog. We have our share of recipes featuring beef, chicken, pork, and more. However, from time to time, we enjoy vegetarian recipes. We are sharing some of our favorite meat free recipes here.
Note: We understand that during quarantine, meat selection at some grocery stores is limited. Hope this post helps you come up with ideas for your family meals.
Tasty Meat Free Recipes You're Gonna Love
Anytime I try to sneak in a "meat free" recipe at home, my husband gives me a weird look. And then he sneaks in a comment " You know what would be REALLY good in this?" LOL. True story. He is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy.
Reasons why working meat free recipes into your meal routine makes sense:
- Meat is relatively expensive. Cutting back helps you stretch your grocery budget.
- Your body could use a break. Consult your doc for specific advice, but personally, my body enjoys a digestive break when I work in more meals with lots of veggies vs. all the protein.
- Variety. Meat and potatoes (or chicken, or pork...) ...mix things up by trying new recipes. You might be surprised.
- Availability. At the time this post was written, the availability of certain meat, chicken, pork, and seafood is limited in certain areas due to the COVID-19 quarantine. These recipes can help you during this time.
